Xbox trainer explains comments on upgradable consoles

Earlier this week, Xbox trainer Phil Spencer astounded many by suggesting Xbox consoles might one day underline PC-like upgradability. He described a thought as a subsequent step in console evolution, and many interpreted it as a choice to buy new hardware for their console mid-generation. In a latest Major Nelson podcast, Spencer reliable this is not indispensably a case.

“Am we going to mangle open my console and start upgrading particular pieces of my console? That’s not a plan,” he said. “There is something special about what happens with a console. You buy an appliance-like device, we block it into your TV, it works when we block it in. It’s not like I’m going to boat a screwdriver set with each console that comes out.”

It’s not that Spencer rejects what creates consoles, consoles, namely consistency, affordability and simplicity. Instead, he is targeting product iteration that allows for some-more timely improvements to consoles—something to assist a existent complement of carrying vast gaps between whole systems.

“What I’m observant is, as hardware innovations happen, we wish to be means to welcome those in a console space,” he continued. “Make those accessible and maybe not have to wait 7 or 8 years for things to happen.

“But right now, we’re not announcing hardware. I’m happy with a console we have and a height we built on tip of that console, and a consistent creation and a games that are there.”

“So we wanted to explain that what we’re doing today, we think, creates a console ecosystem better, in a way. Because I, both personally, as good as examination what happens in a industry, I’ve pronounced a ‘end of a generation’ and this step-function that happens is not something we embrace. we consider it’s something we can do improved at. we see it in music, we see it in books, we see it in movies. When we buy digital content, that digital calm stays with me and I’m means to use it when we go out and get new devices.”
